Office of Institutional Equity

The Engage EDI program was developed in response to the university strategic plan (Here and Next) as an ongoing resource to support staff & faculty in the translation of institutional commitments into day to day actions.

The highly experiential program anchors in specific institutional language. It offers facilitated learning, skill building, and on-going practice through courses, modules, and workshops. Staff & faculty report that they appreciate connecting with and hearing from colleagues across the university, as well as the opportunity for professional development in core communication, situational awareness, and project management skills.

Engage EDI is made up of the Commit Series, the Act Series, and the Transform Series. The program is joined by individuals, leveraged by self-organized groups, used strategically toward team and/or department goals, and has been adopted as part of certificate and/or professional development programs for schools and other large parts of the university.
